Googling showed me that Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" album cover uses Richter artwork. I was going to vote for him anyway.

Richter by a frosty, ice-skating mile for me.

I can't believe you're bringing in a frosty, ice-skating mile for Richter, of all people, unless you're hiding a spectacular winter landscape somewhere.

Ribera.

OK, times up! And it's Ribera with six votes to Richter's, alas, four. Thanks for your votes!
